About me

I’m a Design Technologist currently living in San Francisco Bay area, California. I stand at the sweet spot where design and code intersect. My comprehensive knowledge in design and technology allow me to cultivate productive teams in a synergic environment that meets the requirements of creative minds and developers concurrently. I practice industry recognized best practices in UX/FED to cultivate elegant, intuitive and pixel perfect UI designs and applications using agile methodology.

With a MS in computer science and 7 years of industry experience I still think there’s more for me to learn. I was an attendee at Startup Leadership Programand Stanford Igniteprogram to gain in-depth knowledge about entrepreneurship and startup ecosystem. I want to combine technological and entrepreneurship knowledge to create tangible things that would change the world's outlook on how technology can improve lives.

What people say about me

I had the benefit of meeting Maitrik while working together at Sony and have continued to stay in touch as a friend and colleague. Maitrik is an outstanding developer - extremely passionate about technology and the web. He is always on the cusp of cutting edge tools and best practices. His strive for perfection and attention to detail shines throughout his work and he never hesitant to tackle any task. Maitrik continually goes above and beyond to get the job done. Outside of work, he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met - modest and grounded, while always trying to improve and grow in all aspects of his life. I seriously hope to work with him again at some point and would strongly recommend anyone to have him join your team.

Maitrik is very talented and professional Software Development specialist. With his energy and commitment, the team always finishes development ahead with quality and scalable. He is a very good friend and coworker, always ready to help. Our team was really lucky having him.

Bun Ly

Senior Software Engineer @Prosper Marketplace

I worked with Maitrik at Prosper Marketplace, where everything he touched turned into gold. Maitrik is an incredibly talented front-end engineer with an eye for design and a ton of empathy for the user. He works hard and will take the time to implement design, interactions, and animations to spec. Maitrik will also take the time to help streamline development and design processes. For example, without anyone asking him, Maitrik took the initiative to componentize UI elements so that they would be reusable by other front developers and the UX team. Maitrik is a star, and any team would be lucky to have him. I highly recommend Maitrik.

Elizabeth Ha

Product Design @ Uber

Maitrik and I worked together on the investor growth side of Prosper Marketplace early in 2016. I can comfortably say that he is one of the most passionate engineers I have ever worked with. Maitrik brings the best that you could ask for from an engineering teammate: front-end expertise, strong product design chops, discipline in clarifying the user problem/solution to refine requirements, and a great work ethic. He also adds an x-factor by bringing in ideas to improve the user experience and new tools to help velocity. How he brings all of this to the table and still finds time to help startups is a mystery, but we need to bottle it and replicate.

Jin Hwang

It was pleasure to work with Maitrik as a part of UX team at Actuate/Open Text. He is a very knowledgeable developer with a wide variety of skills and passion for great UI. He always strives for learning and perfecting new skills. Maitrik would always quickly develop working prototypes of mocks passed to him by designers, at the same time balancing few other projects, developing for product and web. Maitrik is very easy to communicate with and has a great open-minded personality, that brings a meaningful touch to any project he works on.

He lives and breathes everything front-end. He keeps ahead of technology trends not just for the sake of his work, but because he loves it.

I am writing this reference for Maitrik Patel. My relationship with Mr. Patel is as his supervisor at the Office of International Education and Exchange (IEE) where he worked as the International Education Technology Assistant. In his time at IEE he worked on projects for our office’s two websites, I supervised his work on the study abroad website. Mr. Patel was able to take abstract ideas that I would give him and turn it into something even better that would make our website more efficient. Mr. Patel was also instrumental in making sure that the website was 508 compliant, meeting all requirements for ADA accessibility.In addition to just doing what was required of him, Mr. Patel would also engage in other activities and events hosted by the IEE Office, including: International Student Orientation, Cross Cultural Conversations and International Coffee Break. Mr. Patel has a great deal of knowledge and professionalism within his field as well as great interpersonal communication skills.I am certain Mr. Patel will be an excellent addition to any company or program he chooses to participate in. Mr. Patel is a great student, ambassador and leader. Sincerely,
